The Hawken Locks

Locks of the T. Gibbons Style:

A recreation of the late Hawken percussion lock for use with the snail breech system. In his quality "St. Louis Guns", Sam Hawken utilized locks by different makers. This lock plate is very similar to that of T. Gibbons and is prenotched for HPT Breech.

#100 Right Hand and #200 Left Hand are uncut for Breech as pictured in insert.

Hawken "Warranted" Style:

A recreation of the lock style typically found in early J & S Hawkens circa 1825 - 1840. Imported from England and manufactured in the US, they were essentially the "commercial" lock of the period. This model has been prenotched for the HPT breech.

Lock Features: Plate polished inside and out. Built for speed with a nice short stroke. Internal parts are interchangeable with our "Late English" flint lock.
